Mike Phelan believes United's game against Spurs will be 'a great football match' as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer prepares for the biggest test of his interim reign.

Solskjaer has made an impressive start to life back at Old Trafford and has led his side to victories against Cardiff, Huddersfield, Bournemouth, Newcastle and Reading, becoming the first United manager to win his first five games.

United have scored 16 goals in that period and Solskjaer has already got his players expressing themselves with fluid, attacking play at various points in the last two weeks.

Attention now turns to Sunday's game at Wembley and United have flown to Dubai for some warm weather training ahead of that clash with Spurs.

"We're in a rich vein of form now. What we have asked them to do, the players have done," Phelan told Stadium Astro after the midweek win against Newcastle.

"There are lots of areas of the game we can improve on. That's the beauty of it now. We can actually analyse the games that we have played and sometimes we have been fantastic going forward and a little bit sloppy defending.

"But the players now know both sides of the coin so we can work on that now and that will be our intention leading up to the Tottenham game because that will be a different test.

"But it's Wembley - I'm sure Manchester United players love Wembley. I think it's going to be a great football match and, obviously, Manchester United have to turn up and do what we're doing, and do more and I think we can do that."
